Why, yes -- so I have.

Of course, in the states it's a blessing -- much better than the slop folks
around here call entertainment.  And we wonder why our products can't
compete...

My VHF 2 4 5 and 11 were unwatchable.  I mean, total GREEN with YELLOW-ANT
screen here, dudes.  7 and 9 were viewable, but you tended to see
squigglies wherever else you looked.  UHF channels were okay.

I had my TV ON TOP of my A500 [highly modified and hacked at that.]

The Cure?  Read a book.  They suffer from perception, not reception ;) ;)

The reception is being interfered with by the signals that are leaking out
of your computer.  Maybe try encasing in a couple inches of conducting
metal -- see if that works ;)
